A compact, rounded-rectangular sans with heavy, monoline strokes and a strongly vertical build. Counters are tight and often rendered as small, squared apertures, giving letters a semi-stencil feel and a highly engineered rhythm. Corners are consistently softened, while bowls and shoulders resolve into superelliptical curves that stay close to a grid-like structure. The overall spacing and proportions emphasize tall vertical stems, short crossbars, and controlled, geometric terminals, keeping word shapes dense and uniform at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where its dense, geometric texture can lead the composition. It also works well for signage, labels, and UI accents that want a compact, engineered look. For longer text, larger sizes and ample tracking help preserve legibility of the tight counters.
The tone feels retro-futurist and industrial, combining a soft-cornered geometry with a condensed, assertive presence. Its blocky construction reads as technical and utilitarian, while the rounded edges keep it approachable and slightly playful. The result suggests arcade-era signage and modern tech branding in equal measure.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-saving display voice built from rounded rectangles and consistent stroke weight. It prioritizes graphic impact and a modular, system-like consistency across letters and numbers, aiming for strong recognition in short phrases and brand names.
Distinctive details include small inset counters in characters like A/B/D/O/P and numerals, plus simplified joins that favor straight segments over broad curves. The numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rectangle logic, creating a cohesive set for headlines and labels. At smaller sizes, the narrow openings and heavy fill may reduce interior clarity, so it benefits from generous size and contrast in layout.
